Easter is fast approaching, and that can only mean one thing… hot cross bun season is here.
Every year, we bring you what we truly believe are some of the best hot cross buns in London – the iconic buns from St John Bakery, now available to pre-order online.
These are not overworked or overcomplicated. Just exceptionally well-made hot cross buns, crafted with time, care, and proper ingredients.
What Makes St John’s Hot Cross Buns So Special?
It’s all about flavour and patience.
These artisan hot cross buns are:
- Generously packed with vine fruits
- Infused with warming spices like cinnamon and mixed spice
- Lifted with organic orange peel
- Finished with finely chopped stem ginger for a subtle, warming kick
Each batch is left to rest and prove for over 4 hours, giving them their signature soft texture and deep, rich flavour.
The Secret Ingredient: Stem Ginger
If you know, you know.
The addition of stem ginger and a touch of ginger syrup is what sets these buns apart. It adds just the right amount of heat to balance the sweetness – a small detail that makes a big difference.
